Li Mu stayed bored in the side hall for an afternoon, and in the evening, Li Shimin finally sent someone to call him, and Li Mu followed Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen to the Taiji Hall to ask Li Yuan for peace.

said that it was to say goodbye, but in fact, it was to have dinner together. This is also included in the 'filial piety', not only the emperor, but also the ordinary people must have a meal with their parents from time to time. It's just that this situation is relatively rare for the emperor, and generally when the new emperor ascends the throne, his father is basically dead, and Li Yuan's father and son are an accident.

Originally, it was a matter of other people's families, and it seemed a little awkward to have Li Mu, an outsider. But Li Yuan was very happy and asked the eunuch to move Li Mu's seat side by side with him, so that Li Shimin and his wife sat down, and Li Mu seemed to be the master here.

Li Muru sat on pins and needles, but Li Yuan was the biggest here, and Li Shimin didn't dare to offend his father for such a trivial matter, so he had to pretend that he didn't see it. The seat is set, and the food is served. The Tang Dynasty was a separate meal system, not only divided meals, but also divided tables, and everyone had a small table in front of them to eat their own. In a short time, the dishes were ready. Li Mu took a closer look, it was only four dishes, no different from the food in the Cao Guo Mansion, it seems that Li Siwen was right, the internal funds in this palace are not very rich, otherwise how could the food of the Emperor Taishang be so simple.

Li Mu doesn't know the details, but Li Shimin knows it in his heart. Li Yuan has to feast and drink every day, and above the banquet, even the little eunuch who plays the role of the ministers eats better than the food in front of him. Today is so simple, not because of anything else, but because he came, this move is intended to show: Lao Tzu does not want to see your son, and does not agree to Lao Tzu's request, this is the treatment!

Li Shimin is also a person, and he is not an ordinary person, he is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the world, whoever dares to treat him so slowly, Li Yuan can do this kind of thing. And Li Shimin hasn't recruited yet, he can't be angry with his father because of this, if it gets out, it will be him who will be ashamed.

Li Mu had never eaten in the palace, he didn't know what the rules were, and he didn't dare to move his chopsticks. He was really hungry, and he ate a few pastries at noon, which was better than nothing for his age, as if he hadn't eaten at all, and now his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he couldn't eat the food in front of him, and he felt so uncomfortable. Li Yuan saw it and said, "Li Mu, you can eat if you want, I still have the final say here." ”

Li Mu was overjoyed, and as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he heard Li Yuan say again: "Alas! The world is so big, the place where I can have the final say now is in this hall, out of this palace gate, I'm afraid no one will listen to what I say! ”

Even if you are not deaf, you can hear the sound of these words. Li Shimin touched his nose and said, "Father, you are so old, why do you have to be a businessman!" If the son doesn't serve well, the son will change it immediately, but this is a businessman......"

Li Yuan didn't answer this question, and continued to say to Li Mu: "Li Mu, you are still young, and you still don't know enough about this person's heart. Can people do whatever they want? When I became the emperor, I couldn't do everything as I wanted, and now that I am the emperor, if I want to do something, I have to look at the faces of others. I'm so old, I haven't done business in my life, so I want to have a good time, but some people, I'm afraid that there are associations in my head, he must be worried that I will leave the palace, in case I contact a few generals again and cause him to rebel, he doesn't want to think about who gave up the throne to him......"

Li Mu was in a cold sweat behind his back when he heard these words, and he didn't dare to move. He secretly glanced at Li Shimin, and saw that he was not going anywhere, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were about to fall into the soup bowl in front of him.

Li Shimin finally gave up resistance and said, "I agreed!" Father, I agreed! ”

Li Yuan stopped his thoughts, looked at Li Shimin and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?" ”

Li Shimin nodded like pounding garlic and said, "It's serious, but it's ......."

"And but?"

"Father, you listen to me, listen to me first." Li Shimin was afraid of Li Yuan, so he quickened his voice and said: "My father is already so old, and there is a way that people don't use their muscles and bones as their abilities. Although my son has never done business, he has heard about it. Doing business is not a simple thing either, and it takes a lot of effort. The father and the emperor go to business alone, and the son must not agree. ”

"Who said I was going to do business alone?" Li Yuan pointed at Li Mu's nose and said, "I partner with this kid, he has a bright head, I am optimistic about him!" ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu and said helplessly: "My son also thinks the same, since the idea is to chase the deer marquis, let him help his father." Other than that......"

Li Yuan said unhappily: "And?!" ”

"The last request, the son must say, the father must agree, the son also agrees, if the father does not agree, even if the son is infamous for unfilial piety, he will never agree."

Li Yuan knew his son's temper, and seeing that he had already said such a thing, he also knew that no matter how much persecution continued, it would be fruitless, and said, "You say! ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "My son wants to ...... If the father really wants to do business, it is better to hide his identity. Otherwise, let the people of the world know that the emperor is going to be a businessman, and I don't know how big a mess will be. The son's reputation is put aside for the time being, and it will definitely have a great impact on your father's reputation. Father, what do you think? ”

Li Yuan frowned, and was just about to speak, but Li Mu, who had been beside him without a squeak, suddenly spoke, and said, "Emperor Taishang, Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know whether to say a word or not." ”

Li Yuan glanced at him and said, "Tell me!" ”

Li Mu handed Li Shimin a reassuring look and said to Li Yuan: "Emperor Taishang, the minister thinks that His Majesty is right." Let's put aside the reputation or not, just say that this is a business, if you let people know that you are the emperor, who will dare to do business with you. How can you ask for the same goods? If you want less, you lose money. It's a lot, if you offend the emperor, you don't want your head. If you show your identity to do business, you will definitely not be able to do this business, and your idea of becoming a businessman will not be realized. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he hurriedly said: "What Zhuluhou said is extremely true, but he still hides his identity." ”

Li Yuan thought for a while, and did feel reasonable, and said: "Since you all say so, it's okay to hide your identity, but you have to have an identity, what identity do you think is appropriate?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, Li Mu thought for a while, and said: "The minister heard that the Li family in Longxi has a total of thirteen wangs, and the family branches are complicated. It's better to call Longxi Li to the outside world, but don't explain it, just let them guess, and they will definitely not be able to guess anything. Who would have thought that the master behind this transaction would be the Emperor Taishang? ”

"Good!" Li Yuan clapped his hands and said, "According to what you said, when you do business in the future, the old man will be Li Ka-shing in Longxi!" ”

Hearing this name, Li Mu didn't pour it out in one breath, almost suffocated himself to death, and asked carefully: "Emperor Taishang, why did you choose this name?" ”

Li Yuan said: "Jia, Meiya, Shanye." Sincerity, faith, the foundation of management. Since I want to be a businessman, I should take it in the right way and be honest. Is there anything wrong with naming Jiacheng? ”

"Uh......" Li Mu couldn't refute it, and nodded: "Okay!" That's great! The kid is only a shallow learner, and he didn't think so deeply. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu and asked, "Father, I don't know what business you want to do, how much capital you need, my son can prepare." ”
